Try that again, but this time happier and with your mouth more open.
That got a cry laugh out of me. Might need to go pirate their show, I never got to see it air
They’ve posted full episodes officially on Youtube
That skit was just to show of how big his mouth has to be when he blew himself. Dude was a sex manic in life.
It’s so stupid.
Would you like it to be stupider?
Beast looks so fucking psychotic to me. Like, there’s something really unsettling about him, even when it’s not these stupid AI enhanced thumbnails. I wonder what percentage of the populace cannot see this? I feel like he’s going to be discovered as a murderer or have a dungeon with a bunch of people tied up one day.
Hard agree. Mr Beast has always given me the creeps.

May I recommend DeArrow by the same devs as SponsorBlock? It replaces clickbait thumbnails with either one chosen by the community or a screenshot from the middle of the video. It also replaces clickbait titles with more neutral and descriptive ones picked by the community.
i dont personally need it but somebody probably will.
I would want something similar if it stopped creators from changing thumbnails and video titles on the user-end every couple of weeks. That bothers me more than the youtube face.
That’s a YouTube thing, actually. Creators can give a video multiple titles and thumbnails and YouTube will automatically A/B test them to see which gets more clicks. If the video randomly switched, either you swapped tests (happens all the time with multiple devices) or the uploader picked a more successful (read: clickbaity) alternative.
You can check for this by adding a video to the top of a playlist. The playlist header always uses the true thumbnail of the first video, so it’ll be different from the thumbnail in the video list if you’re not in the A group.
Is that why videos change titles on NewPipe?
Probably, if you don’t have a user session and are anonymously querying the metadata each time.
ohhh, somebody had said it was a meta technique for creators to boost their views. I probably misunderstood them
It’s both. The dumb faces and titles are unfortunately extremely effective at getting random clicks. The A/B testing is to find the more effective of a few options, which again will almost always be the worst sort of engagement bait.
okay. so that’s a niche bit of knowledge. do you make videos too or are you just a little obsessed with watching youtube like I am?
Some YouTuber I watch explained the system. I can’t remember exactly which one though.
I think Linus Tech Tips also did a video on the system at some point, but I’m not subscribed so I couldn’t link to it.
neat. well, thanks for filling me in and sharing that plugin 🙂
I hate it, too, but I can’t fault them for doing it because it gets them views. It’s people in general’s fault for being more likely to click.
I don’t watch any video that does this, and click ‘don’t recommend channel’. Fuck em
What’s the context of the GIF? I don’t remember this scene, maybe an outtake?
This is one of the few things I still remember about the show. I’m 80% sure it was when Gabriel traps the gang in a series of primetime television gags to try and scare them into going along with God’s biblical apocalypse prophecy. The mouth thing was some kind of fuckery he was doing to mess with them.
Ohhh yeah that sounds right. Looks like Gabe’s hair in the foreground of the shot of Dean, as well.
Loved that character. He was amazing
ahegao face
Not just youtubers, that’s how my little brother and all his friends still “smile” in every picture they’re in. They’re all millennials, so I think millenials invented it, especially since they were the ones who blew up on YouTube to begin with. Now they’re passing it on the the Zoomers and beyond!
you’re right. when we do it it’s kind of more like the soy face though
me 'n the boys. gonna watch Ready Player One and get ALL the references. Effervescent 🐌
